Butterfly craft project…..

I follow Meg’s blog over at Whatever.  It is a wonderful blog filled with colorful photographs.  She does a craft every Thursday.  This past week she did a great craft project with butterflies.  I got inspired to do the same craft.  Usually, I let River just paint or glue whatever she wants..but I thought it would be fun to do a more focused project.

At first she complained because she was in a “painting mood,” not a “gluing mood”…but I convinced her it would be fun!

Of course, she wanted giant pink wings!   She had a great time gluing…..I think she worked on this project for over an hour!!  When she was finished, she insisted that the butterfly be turned over and more gluing needed to be done…on the other side!

When she was finished, I insisted that I take “adorable” photos of her and her butterfly…she didn’t agree and wasn’t happy with the photos..though I took them anyway!
